The Prunus J-136 AM FM Shortwave Portable Radio is a Compact, AC/DC Powered Receiver that delivers Value for your Tuning Dollar. Looks similar to the 5 Core Brand, but is well above it in quality. AC/DC Power Inputs, D Cell Operation, Aux-In Jack, Above Average FM Reception, Decent MW, and Shortwave Coverage, and all for an inexpensive Price Tag.

Features I like about the J-136:
Front Tuning Knob.
Built in Handle.
Easy to Read Dial.
Above Average Reception on FM, and AM.
Bright Speaker Tone.
AC Input.
DC Input.
D Cell Operation, makes for a Great Emergency Backup Radio.
Solid Build Quality.
Power LED Indicator.
Compact Size. Perfect for Travel.
Low Price.
Features that could be Added or Improved on:
Tuning LED.
Headphone Jack.
A Left to Right Dial.
More SW coverage, 3.0-22.0MHz would be ideal.
Overall, this is a Fantastic Radio for the Money. If it is on sale for $16, and you have a need for a shop, travel, or backup receiver, this is a Solid Recommendation. Lately Prunus has been hitting it out of the park with these low cost, high performing units.

It's good to see that Prunus is keeping up the build quality of these. At first glance I honestly thought it was just another knockoff of the 5 Core. I have this one on my wish list now. Thanks Todd.

Thank you! Enjoyed your review. Feel like I've already had it in my hands. Dial going right to left is OK. However turning the knob clockwise to push the pointer left will take getting used to!

Thanks for the tip, got mine and I like it. I'd probably mark my MW frequencies, yes the dial is off.

I'm always surprised that you get 1690 Maryland so easy. I'm 85 miles from that station and only know it's there using a Terk during the day...and 1690 Toronto overpowers it at night...it would be like me getting the squirrel. I would think all you would get is Toronto with both of us being about the same distance. You get the trophy for doing miraculous things with radios.

Not bad at all! It sounds like the audio chopping during AM fading is less severe than on previous DSP models. This would be a great development if true! I'll put this one on my want list!

Nice tabletop radio, tbh. And rugged enough to take camping or to the beach.

@Seekthetruth3000 8 ай бұрын

Nice review. The people who design these radios keep making the same mistakes: 1- No dial light that can be turned on and off. 2- No tone control knob.

Hopefully Prunus reads this, and we will see it in one of their next designs.

we will try to upgrade this one, thanks for your advice

Looks like a decent radio, but just being honest here, lost 'me' with the reverse dial. Fix that, more a consideration at that price point. Thanks for the review.
